  • Patent number: 11799285
    Abstract: A method for starting a photovoltaic rapid shutdown system, an application apparatus and a system are provided. In this method, the inverter system controls a voltage of a direct current bus in the photovoltaic rapid shutdown system. The photovoltaic module breaker makes determination based on a detected output voltage of the photovoltaic module breaker. In a case that the change characteristics of the voltage of the direct current bus connected to the photovoltaic module breaker meets the predetermined turn-on condition, the photovoltaic module breaker controls itself to be turned on. Therefore, the photovoltaic module breaker can determine whether the photovoltaic module breaker receives a turn-on signal only based on its own voltage acquisition device without an additional receiving apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11784493
    Abstract: A method and a device for primary frequency modulation in new energy power generation are provided. An inverter performs a first power adjustment according to a p-f droop curve before receiving a power adjustment instruction sent by the power station controller, and performs a second power adjustment in response to the power adjustment instruction. Since the inverter performs the first power adjustment before responding to the power adjustment instruction sent by the power station controller, the response of the primary frequency modulation is speeded up, so that rapid control for the new energy generation power is achieved, thereby ensuring stable operation of a power grid for new energy power generation.
